| Our Pledge
At the Kentucky Humane Society, we respectfully accept
responsibility to carefully manage donations that are entrusted
to us. We believe in accountability to our donors. We believe in
protecting our donors' investments, friendship, and privacy.
KHS and its staff endorses the following Donor Bill of Rights which
was created by the American Association of Fund Raising Counsel
(AAFRC), Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP), the Association
of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), and the Council for Advancement
and Support of Education (CASE) and states, in part, that all donors
have the following rights:
- To be informed of the organization's mission, of the
way the organization intends to use donated resources, and of
its capacity to use donations effectively for their intended purposes.
- To be informed of the identity of those serving on
the organization's governing board, and to expect the board to
exercise prudent judgment in its stewardship responsibilities.
- To have access to the organization's most recent financial
statements.
- To be assured their gifts will be used for the purposes for
which they were given.
- To receive appropriate acknowledgement and recognition.
- To be assured that information about their donation is handled
with respect and with confidentiality to the extent provided by
law.
- To expect that all relationships with individuals representing
organizations of interest to the donor will be professional in
nature.
- To be informed whether those seeking donations are volunteers,
employees of the organization or hired solicitors.
- To have the opportunity for their names to be deleted from mailing
lists that an organization may intend to share.
- To feel free to ask questions when making a donation
